Fire & Life Safety
Training Material & Information For Fire Safety
Self-reliance is the rule for fire safety for many people. If you live in an area where the local fire
department is more than a few minutes away because of travel time or distance, or if you are
outside the limits of the nearest town, be sure you know how to be self-reliant in a fire emergency.
The U. S. Fire Administration (USFA) encourages you to use this fire safety checklist to help you protect yourself, your home and its surroundings from fire. Remember, fire safety is your personal responsibility… Fire Stops With You!

As Summer Nears, Some things to think about with Outside Fires
- Use chimneys, outdoor fireplaces and fire pits outdoors at least 10 feet away from your home or anything that can burn.
- Closely watch children when the fire pit is in use.
- Store matches and lighters out of children’s sight and reach.
- Turn off or put out fires before you leave the backyard.
